Proverbs 12:27

God's Word

A lazy hunter does not catch his prey, but a hard-working person becomes wealthy.

See the chapter Copy

The little that the righteous person has is better than the wealth of many wicked people.

Lazy hands bring poverty, but hard-working hands bring riches.

A righteous person looks out for his neighbor, but the path of wicked people leads others astray.

A lazy person craves food and there is none, but the appetite of hard-working people is satisfied.

Better to have a little with the fear of the Lord than great treasure and turmoil.

Better a few ⌞possessions⌟ gained honestly than many gained through injustice.

and put a knife to your throat if you have a big appetite.

⌞As⌟ a door turns on its hinges, so the lazy person turns on his bed.

A lazy person puts his fork in his food. He wears himself out as he brings it back to his mouth.
